Lake Havasu City Drug & Alcohol Detox Centers

Detox isn’t a fun activity for anyone. Some substances – like marijuana or cocaine – have little to no withdrawal symptoms. The withdrawal symptoms for substances like alcohol will depend on how the patient has been using it. Other substances – like opiates or benzodiazepines – can have severe, dangerous and even deadly withdrawal symptoms. Detox centers provide patients with medical assistance throughout the detox process.

A detox center lacks in the fact that it doesn’t offer treatment programs for complete treatment. If you only detox and you don’t begin a treatment program, it’s almost guaranteed that you will relapse because you haven’t treated the real core of the addiction.

Recovery Meetings Near You in Lake Havasu City

The majority of your recovery will actually take place after your treatment program, which is why groups like SMART Recovery or Narcotics Anonymous are so critical. Luckily, there are many meetings for citizens of Lake Havasu City.

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) Meetings

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is an international, non-profit group that has been helping millions of people to stay sober all over the world since 1935. AA meetings are typically held in community centers, churches and clubhouses, and meetings typically involve an honest and open discussion from members that are leaning on each other for support and strength. AA is the original 12-step program, and though it has a spiritual basis, it doesn’t subscribe to any particular religion. Here are the AA meetings in Lake Havasu City.

Narcotics Anonymous (NA) Meetings

Alcoholics Anonymous was founded in 1935, and almost 20 years later, there was a noticeable need for a 12-step program that was dedicated to those who were addicted to harder substances. In 1953 as an answer to this demand, Narcotics Anonymous was started. NA meetings are very similar to AA meetings; both groups use the same 12 steps, both groups encourage sponsorship (or mentorship), both groups meet regularly to have open and honest discussions and both groups only require a desire to stop drinking or use drugs from their members. Here is an option for an NA meeting in Lake Havasu City.

SMART Recovery Meetings

SMART Recovery is a much newer recovery group as it was founded in 1994. It has grown into the largest recovery group that offers an alternative to the 12 steps. SMART Recovery is a little different in that it offers a 4-point program, it doesn’t do sponsorship, it focuses on self-reliance and the meetings are more of a group conversation as opposed to one person sharing to the whole group.

SMART Recovery discourages labels like “addict” and “alcoholic” and thinks of addiction as more of a series of destructive behaviors as opposed to a disease that needs to be treated. Here is a meeting in Lake Havasu City.

Al-Anon and Nar-Anon Meetings

Addiction doesn’t just hurt those who are afflicted; it also hurts the families, friends and loved ones of those who suffer from substance use disorder. For these individuals who love someone that is addicted to drugs or alcohol, Nar-Anon and Al-Anon are 12-step support groups that are dedicated to these loved ones. The parents, spouses, siblings, friends and relatives of those who struggle with drug or alcohol addiction meet regularly to lean on each other for support. Here are a couple of meetings in your area.
